Summit Bank Group reported net income for the second quarter of $3.33 million or 42 cents per fully diluted share. Comparable earnings for second quarter of 2024 were $2.70 million, or 35 cents per fully diluted share, representing an increase of 22.1 percent to earnings per fully diluted share. An increase in net interest income of $1.77 million, or 14.5 percent, concurrent with an increase in noninterest expense of only $698 thousand were the primary drivers of the growth in earnings. The increase in net interest income was the result of continued strong loan growth across all markets year over year.

The Bank continues to maintain a strong liquidity position with cash and available for sale short-term securities totaling $131.6 million, which represents 10.5 percent of total assets as of June 30, 2025, compared to $122 million, or 10.6 percent of total assets, as of June 30, 2024. The Bank maintains secured borrowing commitments from the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve Bank with total available borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2025, of $323 million, or 25.9 percent of total assets. Combined, the Bank’s cash and available secured borrowing as of June 30, 2025 totaled $413 million, which equaled 33.1 percent of total assets and 108.0 percent of total estimated uninsured deposits. This total has increased from $391 million one year ago, which equaled 34.0 percent of total assets.

The Bank has achieved symmetrical balance sheet growth over the last twelve months with $86 million added to loans and $80 million added to deposits. Additionally, the quality and mix of deposits has improved over the same period; reducing time certificates of deposit from 13.7 percent of total deposits to 2.6 percent currently. “Our second quarter results reflect the strength of our relationship-based approach to banking. The continued growth of core deposits is not only a sign of the financial strength and growth of our clients but is also a testament to the number of new locally-owned businesses, professional firms and non-profit entities choosing to move their full banking relationship to us in all three of our markets,” said Craig Wanichek, President and CEO.

Return on average equity over the trailing four quarters has improved for the fifth consecutive quarter, at 11.5 percent for both the current quarter and the trailing four quarters. Total shareholders’ equity ended the second quarter at $115.8 million, an increase of $14.3 million or 14.1 percent since June 30, 2024. As the Company continues its 22^nd year of operations, capital levels remain very strong, supporting consistent asset growth with similarly strong retained earnings, which have totaled $56.6 million over the last five years.

Total non-performing assets as of June 30, 2025, which continued to decline as a percentage of total assets, decreased to just 0.04 percent following 0.20 percent as of December 31, 2024 and 0.10 percent as of March 31, 2025.

In November 2024, the Company announced the Board’s authorization to repurchase shares of its common stock up to a maximum total volume of $1.0 million. “Our share repurchase program remains open, and we continue to be active in the market, reflecting our confidence in the Company’s long-term value and commitment to enhancing shareholder returns,” said Craig Wanichek, President and CEO.
